Report: L’Oreal joins forces with Google Glass for hair styling tutorials

Matrix will offer an exclusive blogger video series that will capture styling sessions directly from the eye of the stylist.

According to a report from The Escapist, L ‘Oreal has joined forces with Google Glass to create a three-part hair styling tutorial called “Matrix Class for Glass.”

“Matrix Class for Glass” will be rolled out in the following phases, according to a statement from Matrix, a subsidiary of L’Oreal USA:

First, Matrix will offer an exclusive blogger video series that will capture styling sessions directly from the eye of the stylist.

Second, Matrix Celebrity Stylist George Papanikolas will conduct exclusive appointments in the Matrix Eye for Style Chair at The Andy LeCompte Salon in Los Angeles.

“Salon clients and women around the world have long lamented the fact that they’re unable to have their talented hairstylists at their side to recreate their favorite salon hairstyles at home,” remarks Papanikolas.  “Now, thanks to the technology of Google Glass and Matrix, the salon experience is forever changed.”

The Google Glass video will be sent to the client to act as a personalized at-home tutorial.

Third, Matrix will launch a salon professional education platform. The platform is part of Matrix’s commitment to helping hair stylists increase their skills with state-of-the-art training programs.

“This new initiative will completely transform the hair styling experience,” exclaims VP/ Matrix General Manager Paul Schiraldi. “Wearable technology is the next frontier -poised to revolutionize the way we live and work, in the same way that smartphones and tablets have done. We’re extremely excited to be leading the way in professional and consumer hair education with this initiative.”
